Yastayim [English translation]

You are not there, but my existence still languishes on

It is unknown [to others] that I am without you

Since you have gone, my hands are always trembling

My heart conceals this pain

Years later, I haven't even been able to tell anyone

I buried this love into my heart, and you died

Now my wife, my friend, she thinks that I am ill

I am mourning and nobody knows

At the place where I last saw you, years later

That day came back to my mind again

But this time I have a daughter in one hand and a storm [brewing] inside me

You passed away that way

It's as though you've taken hold of me, I couldn't turn the lights out at night

Come and see that I am still not used to your absence

Now my wife, my friend, she thinks that I am ill

I am mourning and nobody knows

It's very difficult so many years later to make this confession

To dispose of this love

This time I would have had a lot of things to say to you

I would have loved to tell you that I did not forget

Today is your birthday, and I am not near you

That's why I'm so unwell

I have aged, I'm no longer like I was when you left me

And on top of that, I have a daughter and I'm married

It's as though you've taken hold of me, I couldn't turn the lights out at night

I am sick and nobody knows.
